Police say Carl Antonio Scott, 27, was arrested last night after deputies busted Scott and several others for trafficking heroin during a traffic stop. Deputies charged Carl for a slew of drug crimes and possession of a firearm by a felon after an investigation they say began back in April.

Carl now also faces charges with Wilmington Police after they say he is also a suspect in the Sunday shooting on Maides Avenue. He is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for that crime. He is in the New Hanover County Jail under $5,555,000 bond.

The victim in that shooting, Darryl Taylor, 33, was taken to the hospital by a friend for what police said were non-life-threatening injuries. There is no word on his current condition.
